We made this for our daughter — a nonverbal young woman who deserved to choose her own shows, use her own devices, and live life on her own terms. If you have someone like her in your life, you're in exactly the right place.
Meet Ava — always here, always kind.
We're parents. We know the feeling of watching your loved one try to turn on a show or open an app and wishing — more than anything — that you could just make it easier for them. AbleTap.io is us doing exactly that.
AbleTap.io started with our daughter — a nonverbal young woman with special needs who deserved to pick her own shows, use her own devices, and live with real independence. We couldn't find the right tool for her, so we built it. She was in our hearts through every single decision.
Think of Ava like that one teacher who just clicks with your person — endlessly patient, never rushed, never frustrated. She uses pictures, familiar words, and gentle encouragement. No tech jargon. No overwhelm. Just calm, steady support.
The first time they turn on their own show. The first time they call you without help. Those moments? They're everything. AbleTap.io grows alongside your loved one — stepping back when they're ready, stepping in when they need a hand.
Whether it's picking tonight's show, calling a family member, or finding the right words — Ava is right there, calm and friendly, making it feel like something they can totally do.
Tap the picture of the show — and it plays. No menus to dig through, no remote to fumble with. Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, Hulu — all just one picture away. This was the first thing we built, and it changed everything for our daughter.
Works with Roku · Fire TV comingTap a contact and call the people they love. During the call, the AAC board flips up so they can talk through it in their own words — and Ava can help fill the quiet. No rushing, no judgment, ever. Plus simple text to stay close between calls.
Phone calls · Text · Coming soonReal AAC, built from lived family experience. If your loved one has ever used TouchChat, Proloquo2Go, or a picture board, AbleTap.io will feel familiar from the very first tap — the same visual language they already know. A gentle prediction row suggests the next word they choose — they stay the author, always.

Built with clinicians in mindYou know how you'd love to be available every single moment — to guide, encourage, and celebrate every small step? Ava does exactly that, around the clock, without ever sighing or rushing.
She speaks in pictures and simple words. She recognizes when something is hard and adjusts. She celebrates the wins — even the little ones — because she knows how much they matter to your family.
